    No I hadn't K+R, really good. How about this one, though he didn't know it Yeats wrote it from me to my wife,

    A Toast

    Wine comes in at the mouth
    Love comes in at the eye.
    That's all we know for truth
    Before we grow old and die.
    I lift my glass to my mouth,
    I look at you and I sigh.

    As much as id love to lie and pretend i get the message in that i cant :D but thats poetry for you, its personal.
    for example....

    "My time will come, yours too.
    I'll gladly go before you.

    I hope you live forever,
    or maybe we can go together.

    It would be perfect baby.

    And I carry this, it's heavy.
    And I miss you already.."

    ^^Are lyrics from a cheesy Gnarls Barkley Song called "No time soon" but those words mean a lot to me.

    There was a Norse Jack fan called Viking
    Who's posts were bizzare but quite striking
    Some thought him quite crazy
    Like Travis Pickle by Scorsese
    But many found his weirdness to their liking

    I go to sleep, before
    the devil wakes
    and I wake up, before
    the angels take

    all my worldly desires
    all my yardsticks of fear

    all my secrets untold
    all my motives unclear

    hangin' down in the fire
    burnin' them higher
    won't take them away from here

    and long after we're gone
    the light will stay on

    watched the city ... city of crows
    watched them fly, watched
    'em all flyin' low

    out above the flood plain
    just above the dirt road
    they were hungry as winter,
    hungry as us
    not afraid to be flyin', not
    afraid to be lost

    and long after we're gone
    the light will stay on

    and if you bury me, add
    three feet to it
    one for your sorrow, two
    for your sweat
    three for the strange
    things we never forget

    and long after we're gone
    the light will stay on

    and long after we're safe
    the lights will not fade

    There's a few of us pickles in Heavens Sandwich.

    A whistling girl
    Among his flock of sheep
    Lay breathing backward rest assured
    Of Elijah and gods birds

    It will fall to us
    It will fall to us

    Inside the home the folk pine grow
    Where hearts are fire sparks are thrown
    Is all that glitters
    This terrible weakness

    It falls to us
    It falls to us
    From his holy hill
    By his perfect will

    Through the open eyes
    Soul tonight
    His yolk is easy and his burden light
    Kiss the sun lest he be angry
    And you perish in the way

    The rivers of the sky are dry
    A roll up like a scroll
    Down below
    We tend to the forgetting
    Forgetting what we know
    The sun slips from your shoulder
    As you enter in the wood
    Without thought of thorns
    Without thought of thorns

    Old man told me
    hmm
    what I didn't know

    What his son did
    hmm
    Can't do that

    you got to look for where it's worst
    Jesus Christ is our Lord
    and you got to strike there
    Jesus Christ is our Friend

    Oh la
    wooptedo
    that means
    South Africa

    Thats allright mama
    if thats allright with you

    Lets go back to where it all started

    hmm
    don't think I can do that
